  • a control command for controlling the location of the transparency adjustment object 901 may include an input of receiving an input of applying a touch to the outputted transparency adjustment object 901 and then applying a drag to a desired location by maintaining the touch.
  • FIG. 9 (b) is a diagram for a configuration of outputting the preview popup window 303 shown in FIG. 9 (a) by adjusting to increase the transparency of the preview popup window 303 in response to the transparency adjustment command.
  • an image data photographed through a camera is controlled to be automatically cropped in response to a location and/or size of a preview popup window 303.
  • An operation of cropping an image means an operation of separately designating (or, selecting) a prescribed region desired by a user (or, determined on a prescribed condition) in a full image.
  • a user may be able to save and/or use an image data in a designated region of a full image by a crop operation.
  • FIG. 10 is a diagram for a control method of performing an auto-crop operation based on a location and/or size of a preview popup window 303 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • a preview popup window 303 is currently outputted through a running screen of a message transceiving application.
  • the preview popup window 303 is outputted through a prescribed region of the full running screen of the application (or, a full output region of the touchscreen).
  • it is proposed to crop a portion of a whole camera image received through the camera in order to correspond to an output region of the preview popup window 303 in the full output region of the touchscreen.
  • FIG. 10 is a diagram for a control method of performing an auto-crop operation based on a location and/or size of a preview popup window 303 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 10 (c) is a diagram for a configuration that a location of the preview popup window 303 shown in FIG. 10 (b) is changed. If an attachment command is received, it is able to crop a 2 nd auto crop image 100-2 in a manner of photographing an image automatically through the camera and then cropping the photographed full camera image 1001. In particular, the 2 nd auto crop image 100-2 is cropped to correspond to the moved location of the preview popup window 303.
  • an image data attached (or sent) by a control method according to one embodiment of the present invention can be controlled to be directly deleted without being saved separately. Yet, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the photographed image data can be temporarily saved in order to be attached to an application. Yet, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the object is to photograph and attach (or send) a photographed image data quickly rather than to save.
  • a control method proposes that an attached (sent) image data is saved in a separate folder (or, identified) on a gallery application. Such an embodiment is described in detail with reference to FIG. 11 as follows.
  • FIG. 11 is a diagram for a control method of sorting and keeping image data attached to a prescribed application in a separate folder according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 11 (a) a configuration of running a gallery application is illustrated. This configuration includes 3 image folders 'camera roll', 'panorama' and 'photo'.
  • the controller 180 is proposed to sort and keep the data attached (sent) by the aforementioned embodiment in the quick photo folder 1101. Meanwhile, a folder name 'quick photo' is just one example, by which the present embodiment is non-limited.
  • FIG. 11 (b) is a diagram for a configuration that the quick photo folder 1101 is entered.
  • a list 1100 of image data attached (sent) by the aforementioned embodiment is outputted.
  • the list 1100 shown in in the example includes 3 image data items 1102-1 to 1102-3.
  • Each of the image data items can be displayed together with a type of an attached application, an date and hour of the attachment, and/or a location information at a timing point of the attachment.
  • Various embodiments may be implemented using a machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform various methods presented herein.
  • Examples of possible machine-readable mediums include HDD(Hard Disk Drive), SSD(Solid State Disk), SDD(Silicon Disk Drive), ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, the other types of storage mediums presented herein, and combinations thereof.
  • the machine-readable medium may be realized in the form of a carrier wave (for example, a transmission over the Internet).
  • the processor may include the controller 180 of the mobile terminal.
